Scotter, Stevenson win nursing awards

North Little Rock native Beth Scotter has been named the recipient of both the 2007 Department of Nursing Undergraduate Academic Excellence Award and the 2007 Department of Nursing Undergraduate Leadership Award at the University of Central Arkansas. Scotter received the Academic Excellence award based on her cumulative grade point average, which was the highest of her senior nursing class. The Leadership award is presented annually to a senior nursing student and based on leadership experience and a demonstration of potential to become a great leader within professional nursing as assessed by peers and faculty.

Fouke native Andrew Stevenson is the 2007-2008 recipient of the Clara M. Forsberg Nursing Scholarship at the University of Central Arkansas. Stevenson was selected to receive the scholarship based on his high professional standards. The Clara M. Forsberg Nursing Scholarship is made possible by an endowment established by the estate of Dr. Carl and Mrs. Clara Forsberg and is awarded to a junior or senior nursing student who is in good academic standing, demonstrates high professional standards, and is enrolled full-time in required nursing courses.
